Excelsior! Stan Lee Will Get His Percentage of Spider-Man

CLICK THE PIC TO SEE SPIDEY'S FIRST APPEARANCE

Stan Lee is one of those guys who loves himself so much that we don't have to. If it isn't enough that he created the Marvel universe as we know it, giving us geeks Spider-Man, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, Dr. Strange, and more, he also had a cool cameo in Kevin Smith's Mallrats.

So I was more than a little surprised that Stan the Man doesn't get a cut of the Spider-Man movie profits; at least, he didn't until now. A federal judge has ordered Marvel Enterprises Inc. to pay him 10% of Marvel's profits from the Spider-Man movies, television shows and movie-related toys manufactured by Marvel.

I am sad to report, however, that Marvel plans to appeal the ruling.
